No, it is actually not extreme at all to refuse to visit because of this. It is non of your countries business. The only extreme thing with this, is collecting this useless information.

On a synth in a musical piece, absolutely. But in a technical piece like this, I prefer if it isn't.

Great, you found my comment! That explains why I didn't find what tuning you where using. By the way, there is no contact information on the page (if there is, I didn't see it when I was looking for it.)

Nice work! I have a suggestion about the chord: With a single chord like this I think it sounds better to tune it with "just intonation". For a major chord it is [ f * 1, f * 1.25, f * 1.5 ]. With these frequencies the chord will

When using sine waves in a single chord the tuning is much more obvious. I looked at the code and for the major chord it uses: [f * 1, f * 1.2599388379204892, f * 1.4984709480122322] With f = 440Hz it will be [440.000, 554.373, 659.327]. Eq

Maybe it is time to rethink how computers are built? For example, that the kernel is running on a dedicated cpu, with dedicated cache and memory.
